Baked Breakfast Sliders with Maple Butter Sauce

October 3, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

I am the antithesis of the horrendous and offensive term "morning person." If I wake up on my own without any alarms, then I'm okay. But, about 14 months ago, I gave birth to a permanent, living alarm clock that has zero snooze button capabilities, so since then there hasn't been tons of "waking up on my own." (He's the cutest alarm clock ever, though.) Things I can do to make my mornings less ...

Crazy Easy Three Ingredient Pimento Mac and Cheese

June 15, 2018 by Annie Chesson 1 Comment

Guess what I found in my eleven month old son's mouth this morning? I'll give you a few minutes to ponder your guess. *** *** Dog food. It was dog food. A pellet of dog food. **Cue all the vomit emojis.** He was crawling around on our rug in the living room and I saw him bring his little fist up to his face and he looked at me, clearly with something in his mouth, and I hopped up and ran ...

Hot Cheesy Corn Dip

January 15, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Okay, I mean...let's just be real with each other for a second. Is there anyone out there who doesn't have an emotionally intimate moment with their computer screen when they hear words like hot+cheesy+corn+dip in one title? How could this dip possibly not be the most delicious chip topper ever when it's cheesy, creamy, and loaded with sweet kernels of corn? If I'm being honest, I could go to TOWN ...

Microwave Mac and Cheese in a Mug

December 20, 2017 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

It's official. My life is changed forever now that I can have a piping hot mug of delicious mac and cheese in five minutes FLAT. No joke on that five minutes - the pasta and water cook in the microwave for four minutes, during which you grate your cheddar cheese. The mug comes out of the microwave, gets a quick stir, the cheese and half and half get thrown in, and after another thirty seconds in ...

3 Cheese Quinoa Cakes

October 27, 2017 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Can you go wrong with anything that is titled "3 cheese"? You definitely can't go wrong with these quinoa cakes, I know that. They are dense, cheesy, crispy, and super filling and hearty. Eat them as a side, or pile a few on your plate for a whole meal. They are seriously delicious! This recipe was actually originally supposed to just be three cheese quinoa...just a bowl of cheesy quinoa. Which ...

One Skillet Beef and Cheese Enchiladas

June 14, 2017 by Annie Chesson 5 Comments

These enchiladas are so much fun...everything - e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g - is made in the same skillet! The filling is made in the skillet, the sauce is made in the skillet, and the enchiladas bake in the skillet. That means a few different things...1 - You can feel super cool and efficient. 2 - You have way less cleanup...way less. 3 - Layers of flaaaava. P.S. I am done buying canned enchilada ...

Cheesy Pizza with Lemon Arugula

January 16, 2017 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Have you heard the people on all the fancy cooking shows talk about trying to achieve a "balance of flavors" in their recipes? Like a mixture of textures, flavors, acidity, richness, etc...? Well, usually that is way above my pay grade, and I just try to make food that tastes yummy, BUT this recipe is the epitome of that balance of flavors and textures. If you take away the arugula, what you are ...

Cheesy Potato Soup

November 4, 2016 by Annie Chesson 7 Comments

Oh, a bowl of warm, comforting, thick, rich, CHEESY baked potato soup, you say? Yes please. I'll have seven bowls. Especially if they are in cute little pumpkin bowls like pictured above. I mean...if it doesn't have pumpkin in the recipe, I gotta throw some fall in their somehow. No pumpkin? Pumpkin bowls. Seems legit. Potato soup has always been one of my favorite meals. It was one of my mom's ...

August 9, 2016 by Annie Chesson 7 Comments

Oh my gash it's been yeaarrrssss. Maybe not years, but it definitely feels like it's been forever since I've talked to you! My week and a half of no blogging for our trip to Mexico and our move morphed into two and a half weeks. Yikes. I'll explain later....but first... BUFFALO CHICKEN ????. Yes please forever. I am a tad bit obsessed with buffalo chicken anything...as you can probably tell from ...

30 Minute One Pot Hamburger Helper

July 14, 2016 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Do you have any meals that you used to eat growing up that, despite their unhealthy and processed-ness (?), you love because they're nostalgic? Or even if it's not nostalgia, you like eating them now because you never were allowed to eat them when you were a kid? My parents were pretty healthy people, so we NEVER had sugary cereals, bags of chips, or lunchables laying around our house. And of ...
